THE ONLY GUN I EVER OWNED...


THE ONLY GUN I EVER OWNED, and even then I didn't own it. It was issued to me by the United States Army when I was a Combat Engineer during the Korean War. It was my M1 Garand Rifle and I still remember what our Drill Sgt told us. He said, "the hardest thing you will have to do is kill somebody, but once you kill somebody you are going to love it." This may explain what goes through the heads of all the mass killers. They love the idea of killing people. How will all these gun regulations erase this kind of thinking in the minds of mass killers? Here is a picture of me with my M1 Garand Rifle: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=150007861721724&set=a.147251505330693.31622.100001375345515&type=3&theater

Do you still admire your Drill Sergeant's honesty about "humanity's inherently violent nature", Bill?

Ringo. I don't know if I admire it, but I think he was spot on. Bill
